Is The Bachelorette on Tonight — August 5, 2013?

Is The Bachelorette on tonight? DUH, guys, DOUBLE DUH. And you know what else? Tonight is the Season 9 Finale, which means that it’s going to be jam packed with drama from start to finish when Desiree Hartsock wades through the muck of a truly awkward last couple hours.

Oh, and just to make it fun, despite all the tears, ABC will be announcing the next Bachelor! They didn’t do that for Sean Lowe’s season, preferring instead to tease fans for weeks before telling us who it was. Excited? We are.

Tune in to ABC at 8/7c for The Bachelorette 2013 Finale, followed immediately after by “After the Final Rose.”
